  1. Statistical parameters
    For all figures and tables that use statistical methods, confirm that the following items are present in relevant figure legends (or in the
    Methods section if additional space is needed).


n/a Confirmed


The exact sample size (n) for each experimental group/condition, given as a discrete number and unit of measurement (animals, litters, cultures, etc.)

A description of how samples were collected, noting whether measurements were taken from distinct samples or whether the same
sample was measured repeatedly

A statement indicating how many times each experiment was replicated
The statistical test(s) used and whether they are one- or two-sided
Only common tests should be described solely by name; describe more complex techniques in the Methods section.
A description of any assumptions or corrections, such as an adjustment for multiple comparisons
Test values indicating whether an effect is present
Provide confidence intervals or give results of significance tests (e.g. P values) as exact values whenever appropriate and with effect sizes noted.
A clear description of statistics including central tendency (e.g. median, mean) and variation (e.g. standard deviation, interquartile range)

Clearly defined error bars in all relevant figure captions (with explicit mention of central tendency and variation)
See the web collection on statistics for biologists for further resources and guidance.

For manuscripts utilizing custom algorithms or software that are central to the paper but not yet described in the published literature, software must be made
available to editors and reviewers upon request. We strongly encourage code deposition in a community repository (e.g. GitHub). Nature Methods guidance for
providing algorithms and software for publication provides further information on this topic.

` Materials and reagents


Policy information about availability of materials


  1. Materials availability
    Indicate whether there are restrictions on availability of
    unique materials or if these materials are only available
    for distribution by a third party.


Remaining biospecimen aliquots from the project are available by request from the
corresponding author.


  1. Antibodies
    Describe the antibodies used and how they were validated
    for use in the system under study (i.e. assay and species).


Antibodies were used for serology and the ELISAs we performed are not commercially
available as kits or reagents (except for secondary antibodies).
The primary antibodies are patient sera (validation not applicable).
Conjugated polyclonal secondary antibodies are utilized, clone not applicable:
Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories goat anti-human IgG-alkaline phosphatase; Cat #
109-056-098; 1:1000 dilution
Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories goat anti-human IgA-alkaline phosphatase; Cat #
109-055-011; 1:1000 dilution
